INDIANAPOLIS – The No. 12 UIndy women's lacrosse team (11-1, 7-0 GLIAC) completed the season sweep of Maryville University (1-11, 0-9 GLIAC) on Friday evening at Key Stadium, downing the visiting Saints by a score of 22-1.
 
The Greyhounds outscored the Saints by a combined total of 51-2 in the teams' pair of contests this season.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Jess Soenen opened the scoring with what would be her first of five goals on the night. Emily Meyer and Krista Temple quickly added goals of their own, before Sarah Konecny and Peyton Romig capped off the 5-0 run to begin the contest.
 
After a Maryville score at the 23:13 mark of the first half, the UIndy defense did not allow the visitors to find the back of the cage the rest of the night. Grace Gunneson registered each of her seven points in the first 30 minutes, scoring three times and adding four assists.
 
UIndy outscored Maryville, 7-0, in the final 30 minutes, as Kylie Backus notched a hat trick. The Greyhound offense possessed the ball nearly the entirety of the second half, with Hannah Burczyk and Riley McClure getting into the scoring column.
 
As a defensive unit, the Hounds caused 13 of the Saints' 18 turnovers, while the offense coughed the ball up just eight times. Maryville managed to clear the ball a measly four times on 13 attempts.
